Reduce Cost with Infrastructure CompatibilityBuilt for compatibility in legacy infrastructures, the SSD DC S4600 Series with a SATA interface enables easy storage upgrades that minimize the costs associated with modernizing your data center. These latest generation enterprise-grade SSDs reduce power demand and cooling requirements by up to 3.2x, lowering operational costs that scale across the data center.

Increase Server Efficiency and Do More Per ServerBased on TLC Intel® 3D NAND technology, the SSD DC S4600 Series offers a variety of capacities, from 240GB up to 4TB, in a standard 2.5-inch form factor. With larger capacities, data centers can significantly increase data stored per rack unit versus standard 2.5-inch, 2TB HDDs. Simply by integrating SSDs into the environment, IT can improve server agility with up to 209x more IOPS/TB, supporting more users and greater services to grow the business without expanding the server footprint.

Improve Data ReliabilityWith a 3.2x lower Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) compared to HDDs, IT departments will spend less time and expense replacing or upgrading storage devices. Intel SATA SSDs install seamlessly so you can reduce risk of component failures. Equally important, once the SSDs are installed, the innovative SATA firmware completes updates without reset and reduces downtime.

Minimize Service DisruptionsFor years, Intel has been a leader in providing trusted data center SSDs that maximize data continuity in enterprise and cloud data centers. That reputation continues with the DC S4500 Series including key capabilities that help ensure more uptime:

New Intel-Designed SATA ControllerA new SATA controller for the DC S4600 Series delivers the convergence of scalable capacity and manageability. With Intel’s SATA controller, the DC S4600 delivers up to 30% faster mixed workloads, increasing service delivery performance and efficiency.

The arrival of the solid-state drive (SSD) has revolutionised the speed at which modern PCs perform common tasks. This is because SSDs have no moving parts, compared to larger, bulkier mechanical drives, thus they store information on memory chips. This means that accesses, reads and writes are many, many times faster

One of the greatest advances for PCs in recent years has been the introduction of solid-state drives (SSD). These storage drives hold information on flash memory that is managed by a processing chip called a controller. Advantages of SSDs over traditional spinning disks are numerous, from silent operation, lower power to significantly faster performance.
